Featuring a garden and free Wi-Fi access throughout, Mango Villa offers rooms in Varkala, a 5-minute walk from the beachfront.

I had an amazing stay at Mango Villa. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe, Damini and Anmol are very welcoming and friendly. The rooms are big and clean and have a beautiful balcony. It is perfectly located (2 min. walk to the cliff). I ended up staying here 3 times, I found it to be the best homestay in Varkala, I would definitely recommend it! :)

It is located on Odayam beach which is less crowded than the one in varkala town. It is just a stunning area and this was probably our favorite spot in Kerala. The staff is friendly, the pool is clean and the property is well maintained and has a lot of charm.

The hosts are incredibly kind, caring, attentive, full of hospitality. It was my first time in India, they were my starting point and I couldn't have asked for a better welcome. They picked me up at the airport at 1am, made sure I had everything I needed. I got sick during the trip and they took care of me, accompanied me to the hospital... Thank you Annie and Rafi, for everything.They always make sure you don't miss anything, they take care of you if nothing else. The place is peaceful, cosy, well decorated and perfectly located! THANK YOU. Go there with your eyes closed.

Very nice place to stay. Good value. Located on a narrow lane a few steps away from the path at the top of the cliffs, very close to countless tourist restaurants and shops. Friendly helpful staff. They washed clothing using on-site washing machine at no extra charge. And they arranged scooter rentals for us. Our "deluxe villa" room had a seating area and hammock in front.

Lovely place to stay when in Varkala. I rented a small cottage with AC, and it was perfect. Close to cliff and all of the shops and restaurants, and of course the beach. The garden area is nice and cool thanks to the trees everywhere. I even saw a mongoose stroll through the garden! Breakfast was included in my package and was great. Good choice of items on the menu. Highly recommended!!

Nearby is the other Homestay S4, where they provide food and have a beautiful relaxing area at the roof...with ping pong, yogamats etc, where you can freely use it

    Molly's hostel is located on the South Cliff which is much more quiet part of Varkala. Food options are amazingly tasty and very cheap (although it's good to order in advance because it takes some time to prepare)

    Super nice! Very cozy and comfortable guesthouse, well-located away from the busy cliff tourist area (but still within walking distance). Our room was spacious, and the bed quality was excellent. The guesthouse is quiet and located just 1 minute away from the beach in a charming garden. Food is available, and laundry service is provided. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely come back if we return to Varkala!

    Lovely place in a great location on the north cliff in Varkala, around 5 minute to the beach. Extremely close to all the restaurants/shops along the cliff but set back slightly so it is nice and quiet. Nice room with good fan, hot water and Wi-Fi. Nice little outdoor area outside the room with table and chairs which was shared with another room. Free water refills. Able to pay by card. The host was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.

    This is a great traditional, rustic guest house. Peaceful and tranquil. Great size rooms and balcony. Great location, just 2 minutes walk to the beach. Beautiful little garden. Sonny the host has a lovely calm nature and is very helpful. I loved having my breakfast each morning on the spacious balcony in private. 1 dog and 2 ducks add to the charm.
